NJS 4411 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Made redundant this afternoon Subject to 30 day consultation period and I don't know how much they're giving me yet but I should be okay for a few months. Time to ramp up the job hunting - though it will be easier to get contracts once I'm completely free without a notice period. Been trying to get out for a while but it's still a pisser.

Monkeys Fist 43067 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ouch, that's a bummer. Best of luck finding new employment mate. Was it out if the blue or did you get some warning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 They've been culling people for a while on the sly and a few have left of their own accord but this was the first in our department (me and another lad today). THye've found some cheap cunts in Belarus so have been transferring quite a few jobs there over the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46027 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Oof. Sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll land on your feet, but the uncertainty is no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10963 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sorry to hear that mate, good luck with the hunt. I've been firing off applications this week and it's a fucking grind and no mistake. On the bright side, I've been able to get good and fucking drunk whenever I fancy, which is lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33837 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Good luck, NJS. Sounds like it could be a blessing, I think I'd be the same if it it happened to me as I'm definitely needing a total change of not just workplace but work environment. Hope it works out for you.

catmag 337 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 So an hour before I leave for work last night I discover water slowly dripping through my sitting room ceiling at 3 seperate points. Not going to work is not an option so switched the water off and the boiler/heating/water tank, waited half an hour during which time it appeared to slow to almost a stop, crossed my fingers and went to work. Had a fucker of a night, did 5 emergency operations and was just praying that my ceiling was intact when I got home. Thankfully it was and I currently have 2 blokes pulling my bath to pieces as they think there's a leak under it and I need to go to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 337 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nope, whole bath needs lifting as the floor isn't level and every time I have a shower it's leaking straight down the sides. It's fine for the mo as long as I don't use the shower and they're going to come back and do it at 4pm so I can get some kip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
